I think I’ve sorted out in my head that it really does need to be three separate podcast / video series: – Mohanraj & Rosenbaum Are Humans (co-hosted with Benjamin) – Serendib (needs title beyond that?) – the SLF podcast (needs a title for that too, I think) I also think there will be overlap between […]

Started a shared doc with Darius and Benjamin with podcast notes. I continue to be slow to adapt to this brave new world of shared docs and such, but I’ll get there. It just makes me anxious — what if someone deletes something important? There seems to be a lot of trust involved in working collaboratively in the cloud.

Sometimes you just wake up full of don’t wanna, and I’m thankful that this morning, I don’t haveta. I have a university Zoom town hall at 10:30, talking about the fall semester (sigh). But until then, I’ve put on comfy pj’s, gotten myself coffee and meds and two seeni sambol buns, and returned to bed

Sigh. Tried a board game with the kids, which we haven’t done in a while, and the first half of it was full of laughter, but the second half ended in tears. Happy Mother’s Day. (This is not entirely surprising, as board games can get pretty stressful, esp. for Anand. We should play more of

Podcasting notes! Help needed. This morning, I spent two hours + online with Benjamin Rosenbaum, recording the first in what we hope will turn into a podcast. A few notes & questions from the experience: – we still don’t have a title, even though we were supposed to spend the time brainstorming the title; we’re going

My mother and I have always had a fraught relationship; she isn’t on Facebook, so won’t see this, but I think she’d agree. My friend Roshani, who knows us both very well, says that there’s more of Jacintha Mohanraj in me than I want to admit, and probably that’s right. Both of us strong-willed, hard-working, passionately

I’m feeling particularly frugal these pandemic days, so it seemed like the right time to try cooking with dandelions. I mostly dig them out of my garden, but they keep coming back, and I had no trouble harvesting enough to gather a cup of dandelion petals. I wish I’d saved the roots too, as apparently

The kids are now old enough (at 10 and 13) that Mother’s Day breakfast-in-bed doesn’t require anything of me other than telling them what I want and when I want it. Well, the ‘when’ was a little off, as I’d requested 8 and it arrived at 8:30, but the ‘what’ was perfect. And that was
